Check up and Gum disease
Common Questions about cleaning and gum disease.
Gum disease
Gum disease is often over-looked and a full assessment of the tissues is needed to determine the risk status. The soft tissues will be checked for any signs of pathology, such as oral cancer. Further, the quality and quantity of the saliva will be assessed to determine if it is within the normal range, important for sufferers of dry-mouth. The hard tissues are also examined, such as the jaw joint or temporomandibular joint (TMJ), for any irregularities. This is proceeded by checking the jaw joint, as well as the remaining soft tissue in your mouth for any signs of pathology. After a thorough examination is preformed your dental hygiene will be discussed to go through any dental problems you many have which includes the entire cleaning process of brushing, flossing, diet and care.
A treatment plan is then formulated. Each plan is created or tailored to each individual based on their needs and concerns; discussing all the treatment options available and the pros and cons of each option.
